Despite my sore muscles and bleary eyes, I am energized. Energized by what our group has accomplished over the past week, both in the work we’ve done and how the faith of each one of us has grown. I always seemed to be energized by being around our youth group, watching them grow in their faith and seeing what they are capable of. I am blessed to be able to grow in my faith with them on trips like this.
It is easy to get content in one’s faith, easier than to decide to grow further. This trip has reminded me of an oath I made to myself not so long ago. “Never let your faith grow stagnant,” I told myself. My faith has grown on this trip, by watching our youth work for the environment and the people that enjoy it, by working to help people who cannot feed themselves, by going to the mountain, seeing what God has created and feeling thankful for the opportunity to experience God in that creation.
